I was hired by the contractor to remove the entire HVAC system indoor and out. Also I relocated the outdoor unit , rebuilt the duct the entire duct system and gas line. I was assured that I would be paid upon completion of the work done. However after the work was completed I was told to wait for it to be sold.
You may be able to file a lien if you are within 90 days of finishing your work. Your best bet is to consult an attorney on your options.
If you are still within 90 days of performing the work, you can file a lien against the property where the work was performed. The lien is a specific form and it must be filed in the deed records of the county where the property is located. It must be filed within 90 days of last performing work. Additionally, once you file the lien you also must provide written notice of the lien to the property owner within 2 business days. You must be able to provide proof that you delivered this notice. If you miss any of these deadlines or if you use the incorrect form, your lien will be deemed invalid. If you do everything correctly, you have up to one year thereafter to file suit against the party who hired you in order to perfect the lien. If you fail to file suit, your lien will automatically expire.
